Had to leave & come back to the phone. Hopefully I didn't miss anything important. She's talking about the # of consultants & how our sales could be better.Talking about the need to get more consultants at NC.65,000 Consultants on the roster right now. Would love for more than 5,000 to come to NC.

They want to give us advanced notice on all the company sponsored events for 2012 NOW, so we can all plan to attend.

More than 50% of our consultants are working a full time job outside of PC.11,865 people attended Spring Launch 2010 ~ 43% were in their first 12 months of business.13,266 people attended Spring Launch 2011 ~ 42% were in their first 12 months of business.The newbies loved that it was a sponsored event that they could AFFORD.Touched 2.5 X more at Spring Launch than at NC.Also learned that Saturday attendance was much higher than weekday attendance.2010: 7 of the 21 events were Sat2011: 14 were on Sat2012: Jan 28th & Feb 4th (as shared at NC) ~ also on the web now. You can go online & look at the list of cities. There are 8 new cities that they've never used before. Reg opens Nov 8th.

They've learned that the fun & energy needs to be a part of these events across the country as well. They want to "paint the picture" at every event, not just NC. They want these other events to inspire people & be energetic. Will also include MORE recognition!They want the 20 events on Jan 28th & Feb 4th to ignite our 2012 year.Want to connect with newbies, oldies, current leaders, etc.Feedback said it's getting harder to invest time & money in 2 conference each year. They want to think long-term strategic plan ...New announcement: 2012 is bringing a Nationwide Leadership Conference.

2012 LC will include president's club, Excellence Awards, and all the other things they do to recognize us at NC.(I ran out of time to type it all!)
 
What!!!! No more conference for everyone?!!
 
Is it NC just with a new name or a separate event?
 
There is no more NC. The only National Event will be Leadership Conference.

LC is open to TL & above. Hopefully this will encourage more to promote.If you have a C or SC who is an Excellence Award Achiever, they will be invited to achieve LC.this past year, we had ONE C and ONE SC who earned an Excellence Award. So it's rare!Event happening: Sept 13-15 in Denver ($200 Registration Fee)

They want this to excite & inspire more consultants than ever before.They got a standing ovation on Mon when they shared with NEDED & SED were all excited on Tue like the NED's were on Mon.20 Spring Events, 20 Fall Events ~ What could that mean for our businesses? No more individual fall kick offs. We can focus on developing leaders & letting HO handle the events.NC just hasn't been the draw to provide the big picture to so many people. They hope this will reach 20,000 or more consultants ... not just 5,000.

By having the LC, they hope it will be a great time to get together & maximize our ability to plan how to help our teams.
 
Wonder if they feel that SL is a draw to provide the big picture...

This is NOT about money. This will cause HO to spend more money to reach more people to excite, motivate & recognize. They expect it to help them to reach MORE consultants than ever before.
 
I admit that I liked LC better than NC personally. I felt like it gave ME more of what I needed for MY biz. But I felt NC did better at that after they did away with LC.

Executive Seminar in Jan ~ hoping this will encourage some of us to promote to Executive so we can attend.Dates: Jan 10-12 ~ Ft. Lauderdale, FL @ the Hyatt _____ (missed the rest of the hotel name, sorry!) They will preview the entire Spring Launch. So Exec's will know what everyone else is to expect. They'll see the products, hear the announcements, etc.They want Exec's to already have a plan in place to support downline in the new selling season.
